People resolution
People resolution retrieves user information from people directories based on a set of parameterized query expressions, known as people assignment criteria.
- People directories for use with Business Process Choreographer
People directories store user information that is used for resolving queries that assign people to human tasks. - People directory providers and configurations
Business Process Choreographer uses people directory providers as adapters for accessing people directories. You can configure virtual member manager, LDAP, the user registry, and the system people directory providers to retrieve user information. - Transformation of people assignment criteria to people queries
When an application is deployed, people assignment criteria definitions are transformed into sets of queries that are specific to a people directory configuration. The resulting people queries are stored with the task template in the Business Process Choreographer database.
